CSL-38-60010 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CSL-38-60010 is a general purpose relay manufactured by TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays, configured as a DPDT (2 Form C) with a 110VDC coil and 10A contact rating. This socketable, 8-pin octal relay is designed for switching applications up to 1200VA at 120VAC or 280W at 28VDC. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CSL-38-60010 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Coil voltage: 110VDC
• Contact form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Contact rating: 10A minimum
• Termination style: Plug In, 8 Pin (Octal)
• Mounting type: Socketable
• Coil type: Non Latching
• Operate time: 25 ms

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Switching voltage: Substitute must support at least 120VAC and 28VDC maximum switching capability
• Operating temperature range: Substitute may have narrower or different range provided it covers the application environment
• Load switching capacity: Substitute must support minimum 1200VA at 120VAC or 280W at 28VDC
• Product status: Active products are preferred for obsolete components

The RR2P-UDC110V from IDEC meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds switching voltage and load capacity specifications, qualifying it as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RR2P-UDC110V from IDEC is the identified substitute for the obsolete CSL-38-60010. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both relays share identical coil voltage (110VDC), contact form (DPDT), contact rating (10A), termination style (8-pin octal), and mounting configuration (socketable). Operating time is identical at 25 ms.

Performance Enhancement: The RR2P-UDC110V provides superior switching voltage capability (240VAC, 30VDC maximum) compared to the original specification (120VAC, 28VDC maximum), ensuring compatibility with a broader range of switching applications.

Compliance Status: The RR2P-UDC110V holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements. The original CSL-38-60010 is RoHS non-compliant.

Product Availability: The RR2P-UDC110V is classified as active product status with 833 pieces in stock, ensuring reliable procurement for both replacement and new design applications.

Temperature Consideration: The RR2P-UDC110V operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 40°C) is narrower than the original (-10°C ~ 55°C). Applications requiring operation above 40°C or below -25°C require environmental assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RR2P-UDC110V directly replace the CSL-38-60010 in existing sockets?

A: Yes. Both relays use identical 8-pin octal socketable termination and mounting configuration, enabling direct physical and electrical replacement in existing relay sockets without modification.

Q: Are there differences in coil operating characteristics between these relays?

A: The CSL-38-60010 specifies adjustable must-operate and must-release voltages, while the RR2P-UDC110V specifies fixed values (88 VDC must-operate, 11 VDC must-release). Applications with adjustable voltage requirements require verification of the RR2P-UDC110V fixed specifications against system design parameters.

Q: What is the impact of the narrower operating temperature range of the RR2P-UDC110V?

A: The RR2P-UDC110V operates from -25°C to 40°C, compared to the original -10°C to 55°C range. Applications requiring operation above 40°C or below -25°C must be evaluated for thermal compatibility. Standard indoor industrial environments typically fall within the RR2P-UDC110V range.

Q: Does the RR2P-UDC110V meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. The RR2P-UDC110V is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original CSL-38-60010 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the higher switching voltage rating on the RR2P-UDC110V?

A: The RR2P-UDC110V supports 240VAC and 30VDC maximum switching voltages, exceeding the original 120VAC and 28VDC specification. This provides design flexibility for applications requiring higher switching voltages within the same 10A contact rating.

Q: Are the contact materials different between these relays?

A: The RR2P-UDC110V specifies silver (Ag) contact material. The original CSL-38-60010 contact material is not specified in available documentation. Silver contacts provide reliable switching performance across the specified voltage and current ranges.

Q: How do the coil current specifications compare?

A: The RR2P-UDC110V specifies 13 mA coil current at 110VDC. The original CSL-38-60010 coil current is not specified in available documentation. The 13 mA specification for the RR2P-UDC110V is typical for 110VDC relay coils and should be verified against system power supply design parameters.
